Hobbies
Hi there! My passion for teaching started when I was in the 4th grade. Because we moved around quite a bit, my parents started homeschooling my younger brother and I. Often times, I would have to teach my brother coursework and be disciplined enough to teach myself! I enrolled into the Law program at a magnet high school. I quickly became the "go to" person for all of my classmates. In college, I lead study groups and personally tutored students in finance. I was also employed by the University as a supplemental instructor for a difficult financial course. I earned a degree in Finance but if I could turn back time I would have pursued a degree in Education. I hope to one day pursue a PhD and go on to teach college classes. In the mean time, I love tutoring in all subjects and look forward to meeting you and your son or daughter! Best Wishes, Serena D.
